Red Bull 08 was a whirlwind year…The event opening period went green and within days there was already a monster swell on the charts which was looking good for a greenlight swell! Could the event run literally days after the two month waiting window opened, were the organisers and contest owners ready for all systems go!

Everyone started getting nervous, tensions started building as the swell conditions continued to build on the charts potential for GO, Go green started looking like a serious reality.

The next day, everyone was shocked and stoked, Red Bull BWA 08, we are all systems go, we are all systems Go! Huston, we have liftoff… 48 hours notice and Saturday, the contest is a go! Everyone started preparing, all the International athletes that weren’t here already started scrambling for flights and we were all systems go..
